They publish information from medical conferences, information on ongoing clinical trials, lots of information on thousands of drugs, and other articles of interest on different topics. You could sign up for that site, and then indicate that you are interested in the field of psychiatry.

Since my son was only 14 when he was diagnosed, I had to drive him to his appointments, and I sat in on his appointments with his excellent psychiatrist. I was thus able to ask the doctor anything I wanted to about my son's treatment, and about the medications that were prescribed. I also wrote down everything the psychiatrist said about the meds, and their possible side effects. In addition, I was always able to reach the psychiatrist by phone, in between my son's appointments. My son was in the care of that psychiatrist for 6 1/2 years, and I learned a great deal about my son's illness and his condition during those years. After those 6 1/2 years, that psychiatrist turned my son over to the psychiatrist who is still his out-patient psychiatrist. Until a few years ago, that doctor was also on the staff of the psychiatric hospital where my son has been hospitalized most often. It was a huge advantage for my son to have the same psychiatrist for his in-patient and his out-patient care, for many years.

I hope my response will be helpful to you in some way. I wish you the best on your journey with your son. Pl

Please confirm to me that you have received all 3 pages of my reply. I sent each page as a separate reply, to try to avoid having the Mayo Cinic support group site freeze or lock up when I sent you my reply.
